Try the mist with water in the dark test anyway... and at least pull a 
spark plug to see how they are.

Sounds like the car is a bit overdue for a "tune up" (which these days 
means replacing parts *before* they go bad, on a years/miles schedule).

While you're at it, how about a new air filter, if you don't know when 
the last one was done?
